got a quick question about the video, does it have to be a video? I found the song I really want to use, but there's not video for it. when I send in my entry, can I give you the link to the page where the song can be found?

No, but if you want to have a chance to win the prize at the end (the big one for the overall winner) you should participate in as many challenges as possible.

That's alright, as long as we can hear the song easily.

Well if you have "swear", I guess it's alright.

Yes, it's the same as like how it was done during the Triwizard Tournament.

I have a question: Are we allowed to tell other people what we're doing, like what song we're using or what kind of video?

You may tell them, but there might be a catch. During the whole contest we will keep an eye out for potential voting blocks that are based on the Houses. We want people to vote for the best entries and not for house mates/friends.

Oh, and if I'm singing/playing instruments, can I have someone else (someone not on CoS) singing or playing also? Or does it have to be just me?

Does that mean that not just the mods/judges will see my song, but it will eventually be exposed to the whole board? Or will that be just the top contenders? *dies*

Yes, it's okay to have another person to accompany you.

OK, thanks a lot.

Though I suppose just posting the lyrics in text format with a recording of someone else singing the song I based it off would garner fewer points.
